Posted: 1/20/2012 11:15:01 AM EDT

I obtained this bayonet today. I dont know anything about it. I was hoping to get info on it such as when it was produced? was it in full production or experimental ? what branch was it made for ? just basics on it.

That is a very unique looking bayonet.

I'm curious to hear more about it too.

Is the "fingerguard" plastic or metal?

Remove the grips (2 screws) and take another shot. It's M-7 Bayonet based

I imagine theres no real difference in the tang if I remove the grips. Is there something specific im looking for?

The material seems to be split. I found this page, and so far this page offers the best information on the knife.

ty ty, Im thinking I'm just going to swap the grips with regular grips and making it a regular issue M7. I just cant find enough conclusive evidence other then Cole IV Page 110.

The one WillyP posted looks different. The handle is round not checkered like mine. Unless I kind find conclusive information that this is experimental I am going to change the grips out for regular period correct grips. I only need to find a right side.

I must be missing something. Why not leave it as-is and get a standard bayo? They aren't that hard to come by.
